Engaging a Diverse World

Navigating an interconnected world requires careful understanding of how people relate to each other and the places they live, work, and visit. Social and cultural geographers explore how global forces intersects with local diversity (in ethnicity, gender, race, or class) to shape unique places. Organizations and businesses increasingly value people with “intercultural competence.”
